Corndon Hill

Corndon Hill is a hill in Powys, Mid Wales, whose summit rises to 513 m above sea level. It is surrounded on three sides by the English county of Shropshire and forms a prominent landmark in the Wales-England border. Corndon's prominent western edge appears to form a separate hill and is known locally as Lan Fawr (Welsh: 'Big Hill'). The Bronze Age stone circles of Mitchell's Fold and the now largely destroyed The Whetstones lie at the foot of the hill. Corndon Hill is often used as a launch site by paraglider pilots, usually in an easterly wind.
